A Cautionary Tale about Policing London in the 70's

This is an extremely well written account of a young detective's experience trying to apprehend drug dealers. Unfortunately everything goes wrong and the detective ends up in court himself accused of perjury. It is a true story and a very, very accurate account of what policing London was like in the 1970's, in particular focussing on the Drug Squad at Scotland Yard. I am a London Police Officer and was working in London's West End during the time of this book. I remember the incident and the trial. I met Adam - the subject of the book. Reading the book brought back vividly graphic memories of that era. The book will give the reader a feeling of the excitement, pressures, problems and heartaches of real police work. I recommend it to anyone.
